## What it is
A Jupyter Notebook nbextension that adds Vim-style editing and keybindings to notebook cells, powered by CodeMirror's Vim mode. It introduces a three-mode workflow (Jupyter mode, Vim command mode, Insert mode) that overrides default Jupyter mappings.

## Use cases
- use vim keybindings in jupyter notebook
- edit jupyter notebook cells with vim motions
- copy and paste notebook cells with yy and p
- save jupyter checkpoints with :w
- make jupyter notebook feel like vim

## When to avoid
- you use JupyterLab - the README recommends jupyterlab-vim instead
- you want actively maintained software with guaranteed support
- you dislike having default Jupyter mappings drastically overridden

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, plugin-system
- domain: developer-tools, data-science, text-editors
- platform: browser, python
- tags: jupyter-notebook, vim-mode, codemirror-vim, nbextension, keybindings, web-server
